Burgundy

Burgundy is located inside the Royal Orchid Suites Hotel out in Whitefield. It’s a bit of a different setting being in a hotel, but we try to keep things grounded. Whitefield is always crowded with traffic and tech offices, so it’s busy around here. We work in the hotel kitchen and serve people who are staying here or just passing through. It’s 560066, a part of the city that never really sleeps. We have our routines, like setting the tables and checking the stock. Since it’s a hotel, things have to be a certain way, but we are still just regular people working here. We don’t go for all that corporate talk. We just want to make sure the food is ready and the space is okay. Sometimes the lunch rush is quiet, other times everyone comes in at once. We spend a lot of time on our feet. The air conditioning is usually on, which is a relief from the heat outside. We see a lot of travelers with their suitcases and people coming in for business meetings. We just focus on the tasks at hand. It’s a lot of prep work and cleaning up after. We aren't some big fancy corporation; we’re just the staff here at Burgundy in the Royal Orchid. It’s a steady job in a busy part of town and we get by.
